Except that Terry Goodkind couldn't think of any other reason to why he would go to his house and not flee. He would NEVER leave his home without his things. they break open books, slash the bedding, but leave his "pack" untouched? Sure.Īlso, his father died three weeks ago. "Below the window was the bedpost, and hanging from it were his pack and the leather thong with the tooth, right where he had left them" It just doesn't make any sense.Īnd why did they break the windows? "The bedding was slashed open" - maybe they needed to see if he had hidden the thing inside the bedding He wouldn't give Richard anything "for safekeeping". Richard's father was a collector and merchant. Did he? Why would he do that? Richard is like 17 and has just moved to his own house which lies in middle of nowhere and has no protection whatsoever. His father often gave him things for safekeeping. So - when introducing important objects to the story, mention it first as something minute, and make it appear as non-important as it is to Richard. I guess it's the very thing the father got killed for. why is it now suddenly all important? He left his home in the morning without these things, not giving them a second thought, but now it's really important. He wasn't running away without the tooth his father had given him for safekeeping." "He wanted to run in the other direction, take them away from there, but he couldn't. So, the First Councilor publicly gropes a guest? And nobody does anything? Such nice people.
Everyone knows their mother died in the fire. I don't understand why Richard is so upset. the guy drags the dad out and knocks off the lamp, and instead of lifting up the lamp and smothering the fire, the mother runs and rescues her children and then runs back in the house to fetch something and then runs around screaming while she burns alive. So good he tells us this, because I'm not moved at all. Richard saw men in tears, and women weeping openly". "The audience was so moved that they stood in absolute silence. The guard who stands outside the house, happens to stand straight outside the window they look at, and turn just at the moment they look at him, and wink at them. "When I left my homeland, five wizards cast spells over my tracks so none could know where I went, or follow, and then they killed themselves so they could not be made to talk!" Her teeth were gritted with anger, and her eyes were wet. I'm starting to wonder if she has eyes that aren't green.) (he keeps reminding us of that her eyes are green. "There was a flash of angry intolerance in her green eyes. Why didn't she ask him to fetch her some ribs or sausages, that she could eat? People who waste food are waste of space.Īnd then she says "I am still hungry. I don't get a grip of this world.īut, Terry Goodkind said he doesn't do worldbuilding. WHERE is this place? It sounds like an American smalltown in modern times, and then like a medieval fantasy world with dragons and such, and.

The hilt of a short sword stood above his right shoulder, and a crossbow with a full complement of barbed, steel-tipped bolts hung from a leather strap on his left". "Chase wore a brace of knives to one side of his belt, and a six-bladed battle mace to the other. "In that instant, he knew he was about to die" So, Terry Goodkind sees the same clouds over and over again, so that there's nothing interesting He spots a cloud that looks exactly like a snake, and exactly like a cloud he saw previously, and he isn't much interested? "He saw the same cloud yesterday or was it the day before?" She didn't know the way, and has to turn often to know where to go, but he can't just go first.
"her brown hair was full, lush and long, complementing the contoures of her body". No - they were stalking her, because he felt it. What if they were siblings? They would laugh at him. They were stalking her- but what was it any of his business, he couldn't be sure, he didn't even have his knife with him. He cut a plant and then put the stem back in the earth so that it might regrow itself? His brother doesn't want him to be involved in the investigation, so he keeps a clue hidden and goes finding it himself.Īnd even though he had never seen anything like this, he knows to hunt it in the forest. Christopher Paolini wrote better when he was 17. :-Dīut some things that I reacted on reading the first part of the book. The first thing I want to say is that this isn't that bad.
